    I suppose he could but that would be very bad optics, and the investigation is still being run by a Republican appointee who will see it to its end:

    The investigation is being overseen by David C. Weiss, the U.S. attorney for Delaware. He worked in the office during the Bush and Obama administrations, and was nominated to run it by Mr. Trump. Mr. Weiss has been permitted to remain in office until the Biden case is resolved.

    So what you and the right is doing here is adding a lot of spin.

    The NY Times didn't just come out and "admit" the emails are authentic. It stated in 2020 that there was no evidence that the information on the laptop was Russian disinformation. The question was not about the laptop or the emails, but the reporting trying to like the President to his son's dealings. And that is what was called Russian disinformation.

    The email doesn't show that Joe Biden discussed Burisma, just that he introduced him. Additionally, as has been stated many times before, one of the reasons the EU wanted Shokin fired was because of his refusal to investigate Burisma.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Shokin

    What you guys are doing is trying to find some kind of thread to build up a conspiracy theory - so the EU was involved in this as well? Trying to protect Hunter Biden? So ridiculous.

    no, what we're pointing out is this was a legitimate story in 2020, and the media, tech platforms, and democrats (but I repeat myself) actively surpassed it as "Russian disinformation".

    I think you need to learn the lesson of “the boy who cried wolf”

    I mean, except for there not actually being a wolf in the end.

    if you want to be taken seriously, then stop posting easily refutable garbage over and over. Every time your bullshit is debunked, you never acknowledge it and learn. Now your expectation is some apology tour? With all due respect…**** off.

    LOL. Nobody beats those silver spoon fed kids in the Trump family who have lived their lives grifting and conning others into giving them money. I still can't believe Ivanka and Jared were ever given positions in the White House by Daddy Dearest.

    This wasn't a story. The fact that hunter biden laptop was recovered and had emails wasn't ever declared Russian information - just labeled as suspicious given the people involved and the premature claims being made.

    What is Russian disinformation is that Joe Biden was getting money or benefiting his son by getting rid of Shokin. That is disinformation 100%, and still is today.

    Just because you can take these little pieces and say they are real doesn't mean there is a bigger story. The only story you have here is that Hunter Biden is a questionable character.
